chefshawna said:Why use parchment paper?? Just for easy clean up? Or for easier cutting? The only reason I ask is I make a ton of brownies in my bar pan and have never used parchment paper with them and have never had any issues. They always turn out perfect with no hard edges. I was just curious.
LeanneB. said:The concern that I had was the parchment paper moving as I poured in the batter thus cooking corners of the paper into the cake. Does anyone have a good idea on that?
LeanneB. said:I was trying to make the peanut butter brownie torte... sorry if I got everyone sidetracked. The paper keeps moving around on the bottom of the pan. I learned how to make the parchment circles, but I just can't figure out how to keep them in place so the corner don't bake into my brownies. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The best time to lift the parchment paper and brownies out of the bar pan is after they have cooled for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the brownies to set and prevents them from breaking or crumbling when lifting them out.
Yes, you can leave the parchment paper on the brownies while they cool. This will help the brownies to retain their shape and make them easier to remove from the pan.
No, you do not need to grease the parchment paper before pouring in the brownie batter. The parchment paper is non-stick, so the brownies will not stick to it. Greasing the parchment paper may also cause the brownies to slide around when trying to lift them out of the pan.
Yes, you can reuse the parchment paper for a second batch of brownies. As long as the parchment paper is not torn or too greasy, it can be used multiple times. Just be sure to let the paper cool completely before using it again.
While it is not necessary, using parchment paper can make it easier to remove the brownies from the pan and can also make clean up a breeze. It also helps to prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, resulting in a more professional-looking and intact final product.
